This week marked the conclusion of the educational marathon, Microsoft Learn AI Skills Challenge, organized in collaboration with Astana Hub. The results have been impressive! The total number of participants in Microsoft's AI Challenge exceeded 80,000 individuals from all corners of the world. Within the scope of our marathon, over 500 individuals registered, and more than 60 of them successfully completed all the assignments, earning certificates of completion.
The marathon comprised three in-person meetings:
- During the first session, we introduced the goals and objectives of the marathon, highlighted the main tasks, and provided expert and technical recommendations.
- The second meeting was dedicated to consultation with our expert, who remained available in the chat throughout the day, promptly addressing participants' questions.
- The concluding meeting offered young professionals insights into career development prospects, the importance of networking skills, and showcased examples of similar challenges from Microsoft and other companies.
Participant feedback continues to pour in, and we are confident that such events will serve as a significant catalyst for the development of young IT professionals in Kazakhstan.
Our dedication to supporting similar initiatives remains unwavering, and we extend heartfelt appreciation to our partner, Astana Hub, for their invaluable assistance.
